Just finished my first whole30! The results are amazing!,
Update: So today is day 18 on my Whole30 journey. I just wanted to let you guys know that there is a lot of cooking involved with this program. I’m actually tired of cooking, which is why I started making large meals to freeze for the week. It actually works out well for me, especially since I don’t mind eating the same food everyday. I’ve also been drinking a lot of tea and water. I feel like it is helping to flush out more toxins from my body. I has been approximately four days since my previous review and I lost an additional 2 pounds on this journey. I have so much energy that I actually am unable to sit still like I used to. I guess I was depressed before going on this journey so the Whole30 has actually improved my mood as well. I go for a walk every day and I’ve actually started a new workout program!
Update: So I just finished Day 23 of my Whole30 Journey and I feel good, aside from the fact that I caught a cold. Weighing myself today, I discovered that I lost 19.5 pounds so far! I measured myself and immediately noted that I lost 19 inches over all (I measure my chest, both arms, both legs, waist, and hips). I think when I am done with my first round, I’ll take a day off then start a second round. I just feel that great overall.
Update: So I just finished my first whole30 round and I have to say that I’m super excited by the results. When I hopped on the scale today, I noticed that I had lost 26.6 pounds. I then measured myself and noted that I lost a total of 31.5 inches (-5″ from chest, -2″ from right arm, -3.5″ from left arm, -8″ from waist, -5″ from hips, -4″ from right thigh, and -4″ from left thigh). I am really excited by my results!
I plan to have a celebratory dinner tonight (likely a gluten free pizza from papa Murphy’s), then I will start my second round of whole30 tomorrow. I think that I might actually reach my goal of losing 50 pounds by August!
I’ll keep you guys posted! If you have any questions, feel free to comment. I will do my best to answer them. 🙂

Wonderful recipes and a great program,
It is a lot of work and a lot of time spent in the kitchen so I recommend that you wait until the time is right for you. You should give the program 100% effort and if you are too stressed, busy, or just don’t have the time to make all of this homemade food you will probably get discouraged and fall off track. But if you think you can fit it into your life, get a support group together and start right away, it will change your life!
Last thing: the recipes are phenomenal! I have been in a cooking rut for the past year and these recipes have cured me. I was so shocked that meal after meal was a delight to eat. So even if you don’t do the program this is a worth-while purchase for the recipes alone. Just make sure you actually follow the entire recipe… Imitations, substitutes, and cutting corners will result in food with a lot less flavor. There’s also lots of cooking hints hidden throughout all of the recipes that will change the way you cook, and therefore how your food tastes!

It’s like Christmas in my Kitchen.,
The absolute BEST thing about Whole30 is that it simply is not a diet. I first stumbled upon Whole30 after two different friends–from two different friend circles–discussed this 30 day “plan” they were completing. As one girl whined and moaned about not being able to chew gum, I naturally took that as a challenge and thought: I’ll do this Whole30 and not be such a baby about it. I read the Whole30 blog, I used Instagram as a means to gather additional recipes and helpful hints, and ten days later, I began day one. Surprisingly, I found it to be the BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED to my little round self. I gained confidence, learned that I do have the ability to say “no” to food cravings, discovered a myriad of new recipes, cured all of my PCOS symptoms (regular menstrual cycles for the first time in ten years and no cysts), and as a bonus, dropped 2 pants sizes. As a child, I was in and out of the hospital with stomach pains and problems (I’ll spare all the details) and after following Melissa & Dallas’ Whole30, I ate sans stomach aches for the first time EVER. Truly, I did not know that was possible. For my entire life eating a meal meant some level of pain/discomfort while my food digested. Not anymore! Also, chronic migraines: gone!
Whole30 can be a challenge, but it isn’t hard. It’s worth it.
About this book: LAWD, HAVE MERCY! It’s beautiful. I’m leaving it on my coffee table forever. (Confession: I did, in fact, walk back and forth from my kitchen to my coffee table while I cooked tonight because I didn’t want to risk getting food on the new pages. It’s brand new and I’m in love, okay?) It presents all information necessary to complete Whole30, informs one about all rules, discusses the importance of following the rules, and provides a plethora of recipes and resources. (They went above and beyond here, people.) The photography is amazing. The typography is stunning. The recipes are delicious. And, may I say again that the book is just so incredibly BEAUTIFUL?
From one wonder woman to another wonder (wo)man, you must buy the book. Give Whole30 a try. (If all else fails, you’ll have a stunning book on display to let all your guests see how “healthy” you are.)
But really, Whole30. Just do it.
(Also, I’d love to answer any additional questions you may have regarding this book or the purchase of this book. instagram: @roemeg)
